Can someone compare violence in low income neighborhoods during the mid to late 80's to now? I need context cause that was crazy too
@oldmanebro crime is much lower now than it was in the 80's & 90's

@johnlegend low crime rate reports is marketing for tourism and people thinking their tax dollars are working, so they'll accept a tax hike -
@oldmanebro@johnlegend it's def true. Read The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander digs deep into the issue of mass incarceration & crime -
@oldmanebro@johnlegend but yes crime today is much lower than in the 80s & even the 90s -
@blue2fly_04 Was gonna say, "but incarceration is only getting higher" but your "but yes" lead me to believe you already knew that... -
@blue2fly_04 off topic but... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylaWf9OkoTw … -
@JoeHighness212 funny just took a course in crime & there are theories that suggest when society is given too many options it leads to crime
-
@blue2fly_04 Hm. I think that depends on the kinda options that are presented, like in the type of neighborhood or something. -
@blue2fly_04 I've thought about and analyzed shit like that on my own, but I'd like to hear someone else's perspective on the matter. - 1 more reply
